What does cardiovascular endurance have to do with gymnastics?
Compared to many other sports gymnastics is not oriented towards cardiovascular fitness. Because strength and power are so important in gymnastics, too much work on endurance exercises actually reduces strength. The only endurance important in gymnastics is muscular endurance. Events such as women's uneven bars, men's high bar, parallel bars, rings and pommel horse require more muscular endurance and strength. The longest routines are no more than 90 seconds for men and women's floor exercise and the balance beam. Floor exercise requires a cardio-fitness foundation but this is the only event in gymnastics. Most high level gymnasts work endurance by performing routines and stay away from jogging and other forms of aerobic exercise. The primary focus in training is short-term energy systems, strength, power and speed.

Is gymnastics for all ages?
Yes gymnastics is for all ages. There are classes from mommy and me classes to adult classes in certain gymnastics centers. I started gymnastics at a late age for gymnastics. I started at the age of 10 ( I'm 15 now) and I'm now doing competitive gymnastics. But since I did start gymnastics later I'm not at a very high competitive level. My coaches told me if I did start gymnastics at an earlier age like everyone else I could've been at least a level 9 or maybe even 10! But since I do other stuff like cheerleading at school and gymnastics and I'm in high school now I do prep op gymnastics which is gymnastics which is not as committed as being an optional gymnast. Gymnastics is good to start young since your body is really flexible and your not afraid to try new skills and to build motor skills. If you started late like me its also good because you work on flexibility, strength, endurance, and it helps you get disciplined and stay focus at school. Almost every gymnasts get straight As. Adult classes are also good to start since adults also need exercise and they work on flexibility and strength to work on bone strength and endurance. So yes gymnastics is for all ages, and you have plenty of choices to choose from like mommy and me, adult, rec team, competitive team, and prep op levels. Hope this helped. Jean

Muscular endurance in gymnastics?
Womens Gymnastics does require some muscular endurance on Bars because it is nonstop (but Bars is usually quick), and to hold positions on beam, but generally no. Mens gymnastics however, generally requires a lot of endurance to hold positions in all events except vault and high bar. um, women gymnast have A LOT of muscle.. they need it for tumbling vault bars, and beam! all of the events require muscle. a lot of it. women gymnast spend at least a 1 hour a day working on just muscle. i think men gymnast require MORE muscle, but not a lot more. women gymnasts have to be muscular, flexible, graceful, and powerful. take it from a women gymnast, it requires much more muscle then thought.
Is gymnastics for everyone?
Yes And No. Depending on what you mean, if you are looking into hardcore competitive gymnastics then not anyone can really do it and enjoy. It takes time. commitment, endurance, and tons of self discipline. You will have to spend many hours in a gym and less time having a social life. You will also have to learn to balance school and gymnastics. Although if you can do all of these and truly enjoy the sport then, yes it is the sport for you. If you are looking into classes and such then it is a sport for anyone. Gymnastics is a truly enjoyable sport and if you just want to try it then good for you. Hope this helps! I truly do know this because I am a gymnast myself.
